Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, 1/3oz Silver(Silver Plated) / Red / Yellow / Green fishing spoon #1993

Hammered silver plating covers the entire surface of this 4" (10 cm) trolling spoon, providing a textured backdrop for its vibrant accents. Carrying the product code 1993, this Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye weighs in at 1/3 oz (10 g) and displays a trio of painted stripes in green and yellow along its center. Two signature red faceted beads are secured at the head, a classic design element of the Evil Eye series intended to provide a focal point during use. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint on the stripes and clean hardware, including the original treble hook and front split ring. Designed for trolling, the spoon’s body is stamped with a dimpled pattern that continues onto the reverse side to maximize light reflection from the silver-plated finish.
